VOLVO EC290C LR CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The Volvo EC290C LR is a robust crawler excavator engineered for demanding earthmoving, road building, demolition, and quarry applications. Powered by a Tier 3-compliant Volvo D7E EAE3 turbocharged diesel engine, this machine delivers 192 horsepower (143 kW) of net power with exceptional torque characteristics, producing 965 Nm at just 1,350 RPM. This low-RPM torque delivery enables superior fuel efficiency and operational performance across varying job site conditions. The excavator features an operating weight of 69,900 pounds, providing substantial stability and digging force. With a maximum digging reach of 61 feet along the ground and a maximum digging depth of 48.42 feet, the EC290C LR accommodates versatile boom and arm configurations, including the LR variant with a 10.2-meter boom and 7.9-meter arm. The machine incorporates advanced V-ACT (Volvo Advanced Combustion Technology) with electronic fuel injection and engine management systems that minimize emissions while maximizing productivity. The integrated hydraulic system utilizes dual variable displacement axial piston pumps delivering 250 liters per minute each, enabling simultaneous independent movements of boom, arm, and bucket for fast cycle times. The undercarriage features a reinforced X-shaped design with multi-disc spring-applied brakes and automatic two-speed travel motors, achieving maximum drawbar pull of 230.5 kN. Additional features include boom float functionality for enhanced digging efficiency on rocky terrain, pilot-operated wrist control, ergonomic cab design with climate control, and simplified servicing protocols, making the EC290C LR an industry-leading solution for high-production excavation operations.
